The progress was celebrated recently at a beam signing ceremony. Pupils from Queensferry Primary School took part in the physically distanced ceremony, which was also attended by representatives of the company building the facilities, Kier Group. For Plas Derwen a new two storey school is being built on the existing tennis courts and will accommodate up to 111 pupils. There will be nine classrooms, three specialist classrooms, therapeutic zones, administration facilities, hall, kitchen and servery and hard and soft play areas. For Ty Calon a new single storey community facility is being built on the existing available grounds and provide for a range of community facilities including community café, studio, commercial kitchen and bar, community sports changing facilities and teaching spaces for adult and young people community learning and car parking.
In addition, the new market square will host ad-hoc commercial, leisure and community events throughout the year. A release from the Council said: The market’s hot food and drink offer will provide seating for up to 500 customers and include a stage for day and evening entertainment. The hot food offer which will follow an independent, street food style concept, will provide informal indoor and outdoor communal seating to allow customers to linger and experience the theatre of markets. Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw commented: “We’re delighted Kier are joining the team to deliver Darley Street Market and reshape such a historic part of Bradford city centre. Their commitment to social value through apprenticeships and school and colleges are a real testament to the Council’s social value policy when contracting partners and it’s great to have them on board.
